This is my thousandth poem on PoetrySoup.
I hope it's not a bunch of...goop.
If you don't like this one, I'm pretty shore
you won't like the others any more.
My Seven Thousandth Poem
This is actually it believe it or not.
I have composition books full of them.
They are even on all kinds and sizes
of sheets of paper. I write them on
church bulletins and Day By Day.
Seven thousandth poem soon will reach;
Do wonder if I am a lenient poetry leech,
Steeling thought,
And got caught;
Write them God has many ways to teach.

My Profound Thousandth Poem
Dedicated to England and also
world renown poet Terry Cooper.
England is exciting place to be
Will enjoy it in every opportunity
People of pageantry are such a site
Forty in Round Table and were a knight.
There was Marlowe and Shakespeare
And Gainsborough to see far and near
Cathedrals, mighty castles with a moot
To see does require much time to devote.
In England is Rugby, Lacrosse and Soccer
Manchester being beaten is a real shocker
Weather will be cool and then end up warm
May need to be prepared for a mighty storm.
When you leave will want to return again
Which is exactly what we both intend
Was it mole in hole or pied piper in wall
Whatever it was old me just can't recall.

My Thousandth Poem
For things to remain in mind with permanence
They must be logical and make much sense
So you can finally be able to figure out
What my poem was about with no doubt.
Now suppose if often I off did start to doze
And my mind another poem would propose
When I will wake up all safe and sound
At moment's notice be ready to write it down.
It was why God meant my many poems to be
Representing relationship with Him and me.
That caused me to realize and understand
Why He will want to remain close at hand.
Thank You again God for our poem so great,
And to write many more, I can hardly wait;
They are meant for each and all and everyone;
Pray that my thousandth one soon may be done.

Give me one more chance
for the thousandth try
show me how to love you
can't seem to get it right
You are the only one
just need your loving guidance
please don't turn your back
no time to show defiance
Know my words were callous
hurt you deep inside
asking for forgiveness
another chance to love you
for the thousandth try
